Minutes for Town of Wilson Monthly Meeting 8/5/2025 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Dan Meyer at 7:00 pm at the Town Hall. Present was Chairman Dan Meyer, Supervisors Ed Shilts and Aaron Vizer, Clerk Danielle Barka and Treasurer Robin Richardson. Also present were Tom Richardson, Wayne Bonick and Josh Myers On motion by Shilts/Vizer the Board approved the minutes of the July meeting as printed. Josh Myers presented information for a Town website that would be a simple design with full access to editing at a low cost and the Town would own the domain name (townofwilsonwi.com). Myers would be able to have the website up and running in 30-60days and the initial cost would be a one time fee of $900 and then $25/month for maintenance; the Town can cancel at any time without penalty. Because the WEC will now require .gov email addresses they are providing a $600 grant and the Town would then pay $100/year for a .gov email address. All were in favor of getting the website up and running and Myers will be in contact with the Clerk to get documents (agenda, minutes, ordinances) uploaded to the website. The Treasurer's report was presented to the Board. The Treasurer requested that the Board consider increasing dog fees for spayed/neutered and non spayed/neutered animals from $7 to $7.75 and $8 to $9 to offset the cost of tax paid to the State. The Board agreed to put it on the agenda for next month. In park related items; there was a couple squatting in the pavilion at the park and were told to vacate and someone left an old camper for free but it has now been removed as well. Shilts asked if a sign could be put up for anyone using the electric to please consider leaving a donation. Ron and Jerry fixed and painted the park sign and the end of Hamilton Falls Road. In road related items; the grader and backhoe were taken in for maintenance. Ron noted that signs on Eaton and Town Road were vandalized and new ones should be ordered. Larson Construction is paying the Town $350/month until October to park their construction trailer in the Town hall parking lot. The Clerk presented the prepay for River County Co-op at $1.65/gallon. The Board thought 600 gallons should be purchased for prepay but Meyer would check with Thaler Oil to see if their prepay was any less. The Clerk also reminded the Board that the dumpster contract with GFL is up if the Board would like to look into TOTS or another company for pickup. The Board also moved to renew the insurance policy with Rural Mutual Insurance. There was no public comment. The Clerk submitted bills for payment; all of which were approved along with any others that arrive and are due before the next monthly meeting. The next monthly meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, September 9th, 2025 at 7:00p.m. at the Town Hall. On motion by Vizer/Shilts the meeting adjourned at 8:35pm. Danielle Barka, Clerk
